Chelsea Handler ‘Goes Rogue’ at Critics Choice Awards, Invites Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie to Give Impromptu Acceptance Speech for ‘Barbie’


When 'Barbie' won best comedy off-camera, Critics Choice Awards host Chelsea Handler invited Greta Gerwig & Margot Robbie to give an impromptu speech.

The run of show for the Critics Choice Awards got a surprise update when host Chelsea Handler decided to “go rogue” and call Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie to the stage. That wasn’t going to work for Handler, who’d dedicated a good portion of her monologue to saluting “Barbie” for its $1.4 billion box office achievement and its cultural relevance amid “The Year of the Woman.” Gerwig then thanked the corporations behind the film — Mattel for “letting us take their beloved icon and make something so unhinged” and Warner Bros. for “standing behind us every step of the way.” She saved her final shoutout for Baumbach, her co-writer and new husband.
